Denver Takes Down Florida Atlantic, 73-63

Nate Rohnert had a game-high 25 points and eight rebounds against the Owls

  

My son John, son-in-law Tim, and grandson Josh joined me to watch the University of Denver men’s basketball senior captain Nate Rohnert (Parker, Colo.) score 25 points and make eight rebounds, as the Pioneers defeated Florida Atlantic 73-63 at Magness Arena on Saturday afternoon.

Freshman guard Chase Hallam (Mesquite, Texas) chipped in 11 points on 4-of-7 shooting for the Pioneers (14-9, 7-5 SBC), while junior guard scored 10 points. Sophomore guard Brian Stafford (Walnut Creek, Calif.) dished out a game-high four assists and added eight points.

Denver shot 61.1 percent (22-of-36) from the floor, the third time in the past four home games that DU eclipsed 60 percent, and 71.4 percent (10-of-14) from three-point range. 

It was Boy Scout day, the arena was packed with enthusiastic young people and we all had a great time!
